FROM A FUNCTION
Scenario:
In a stored procedure, CREATE TABLE statement is not allowed. But an
exception is provided for CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE. We can create a temporary
table in a stored procedure.
Let there be two stored functions f1 and f2 and two stored procedures p1 and
p2. Their properties are as follows:
. stored function f1() calls stored procedure p1().
. stored function f2() calls stored procedure p2().
. stored procedure p1() creates temporary table t1.
. stored procedure p2() does DML on t1.
Consider the following situation:
1. Autocommit mode is on.
2. select f1()
3. select f2()
Step 2: In this step, t1 would be created via p1(). A table level transaction
lock would have been taken. The ::external_lock() would not have been called
on this table. At the end of step 2, because of autocommit mode on, this table
level lock will be released.
Step 3: When we execute DML on table t1 via p2() we have two problems:
Problem 1:
The function ha_innobase::external_lock() would have been called but since
it is a select query no table level locks would have been taken. Hence the
following assert will fail:
ut_ad(lock_table_has(thr_get_trx(thr), index->table, LOCK_IX));
Solution:
The solution would be to identify this situation and take a table level lock
and use the proper lock type prebuilt->select_lock_type = LOCK_X for DML
operations.
Problem 2:
Another problem is that in step 3, ha_innobase::open() is never called on
the table t1.
Solution:
The solution would be to identify this situation and call re-init the handler
of table t1.
